ÀNI Thailand

Phang Nga Bay, Thailand

A private island estate reserved entirely for one group, with two acres of gardens, a private beach and views across the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay

At a glance

ÀNI Thailand occupies the east coast of Koh Yao Noi, a largely unspoiled island equidistant between Phuket and mainland Krabi within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Phang Nga Bay. Meaning "Small Long Island", Koh Yao Noi is known for deserted beaches, protected mangroves and a laidback pace of life, and forms part of Ao Phang Nga National Park, home to hornbills, sea otters and green turtles. Set within two acres of lush, well-tended gardens, the resort has direct access to a sandy beach overlooking the turquoise waters and limestone islands of the bay.

As with all ÀNI properties, this is a whole-resort buyout rather than individual room bookings, reserved exclusively for one group of 6 to 20 guests across two Ocean Villas, two Family Villas and four Pool Suites. A dedicated team of 22 tailors every detail of the stay. It works beautifully for a multigenerational family gathering or celebration large enough to fill or share the buyout, but is not suited to a single family of four looking for a conventional hotel room.
